As opposed to 11 words smashed together, function names in Mercurial usually are 2 or 3 words (if not just one), which is not at all bad. I think breaking inconsistency with the existing code base would be worse than making people get used to no-spaces style (the one that python's stdlib usually follows, in fact). So, FWIW, -1 from me.

I'm a bit late to the party, but wanted to remind people that targets that are not actual files (in this case, a file named "format-c") should also go into .PHONY list. Nothing bad will happen right now (unless such file appears at some point), but adding it to "phony" targets helps keeping makefile in proper shape. (Looking at the already unwieldy .PHONY list I wish Make had another way to mark targets "phony").
